Tyler is da dooood !!!

[@SpencerWayne]

I had Tyler cut my last record and it sounds amazing

[@EthicRadioArchiveReels]

Do you have Tyler's email address we want him to press up vinyl records for us

[@urban1radio]

Excellent to see this happening in Connecticut! Helps to educate our visitors to the Vintage Hi-Fi museum in West Hartford.

[@Unicornhunted]

This is so amazing, have you ever worked with lathes that cut metal?

[@youknowyouknow68]

This was awesome, and your drive to do this is phenomenal. I am really impressed. I wished you and this tech was around in the 80's, it would have been truly life changing.

5:28 I have that "The World Is A Beautiful Cat" design as a flag hanging on my wall. I love TWIABP! When I looked at your list of clients on your website I thought it was pretty cool seeing Broken World Media, Run For Cover, Too Far Gone, & Square Of Opposition on there. A lot of my favorite bands are on those labels and I do a lot of business with them buying records for my personal collection!

[@paeinlitsch]

I have the "The World Is A Beautiful Cat" shirt they once put out with Ryan Gosling on it :D

[@audiogeographystudios]

Great video Tyler!

[@wormpie4932]

Excellent!

[@migalito1955]

Cool! I wish I had thought of the idea. It would have made a great after retirement occupation for me. Best wishes and thanks for sharing.

[@pawexs]

Bravo

[@ShirazLOOOL]

[@lucasdalakian9646]

[@corporalkills]

I just got a record you cut in the mail recently, and I’m highly impressed. :) it sounds wonderful. Thanks for the attention to detail!

[@kulwantsingh3116]

[@drewthompsonhooke]

[@drewthompsonhooke]

[@fredbissnette3104]

So dope

[@goregore6259]

This is pretty cool tbh, I would love to make this my life.

[@grandadgamer8390]

Bizarre, but i understand it. In my day, vinyal was a real commodity, literally worth its weight 😂 Hard days back then

[@uvb74]

Parabéns, muito show de bola

[@beefsoda1]

That's incredible. I looked up record lathe because I'm very interested in getting into it. any suggestions? greetings from Massachusetts

[@audiogeographystudios]

the lathe trolls forum is a great resource: www.lathetrolls.com

[@audiophile1024]

If only 78 steel needle records could be cut. Much more difficult.

[@tragwag]

I have done those in the past, though the plastic wide-groove 78s can only be played back with fibre/bamboo needles

[@domwebhost]

2:59. "Crank the lead-in groove". Can you explain this a little bit? Are you just cutting a deeper groove into the start of the record for the stylus to fall into easily? Great video and keep on cutting!!!!

[@tragwag]

hey dom! not a deeper groove, but the lead in is essentially blank grooves (no audio) that come before the music starts. they are cut at a more coarse pitch (more space between them) so the needle can catch

[@HeritageCraftsKnowledgeReposit]

Dude. Bad ass. 🤟🤟🤘🤘👍👍🙏🙏

[@nevilleandann]

I will like to make a record 12 in or 10 in let me know if you can do it please.

[@audiogeographystudios]

sure can! check out the site: www.audiogeography.com

[@gsantosk8]

Hey, you've been doing an awsome work, so, please tell me, is it possible to cut a record from straight from an analog media, say a reel to reel tape for example.

[@audiogeographystudios]

definitely! I have a quality 1/4" deck for this very purpose

[@igordeoliveirasa6674]

How cut in a perfect spiral if center of disc is faster than the border?

[@audiogeographystudios]

the speed (RPM) is the same, the linear velocity changes with diameter

[@djpopcorn]

Hi is there such a thing as a lathe that has two cutting heads? Do you know any models?

[@audiogeographystudios]

not that I know of! the closest I can think of is an experimental stereo playback system by Cook Labs, with two playback arms.

[@freethepress7807]

Hello, I have a Rek O Kut and M-12 Mono Cutting head project that I am working on. What type of amp would be the best on a budget? I only have a 50 W tube guitar amp but I don't think that will give very good results. My cutting head is reading at 5 ohm. What section would I look under for the solid state amp if I was searching on a music website? Is it a preamp, a power amp or a guitar amp that you use? I'm wanting to run the sound from my computer. Also does your cutter head have an in line fuse? If so, how did you install it? Also how do you do your lead in/lead out grooves? I have a rek-o-kut lathe as well and have pictures if that would be helpful. Thank You very much!!!

[@tragwag]

try a home stereo or standard PA power amp instead! I do have a inline fuse on all my cutter head audio lines yes. I'm not sure if the rek o kut has the handcrank, but the Presto 6N does and I just crank that for the lead in/lead outs

[@tragwag]

worth checking out the lathetrolls.com forum for sure!

[@1funeral2many9]

rad

[@djpopcorn]

So no preview signal?

[@tragwag]

no need, the pitch system is manual in this case (and on all my other lathes). preview signal is needed for automatic pitch systems on higher end machines

[@BrotWurst]

nice video dude! but you should put before your website www.audiogeography.com so then the link is clickable like www.audiogeography.com/

[@vamdam6730]

[@EthicRadioArchiveReels]
